St Helier; Saturday, 02 August, 2003

Saturday morning and another Early start, this time so that I could walk along the northern cliff path from Rozel, in the very North West corner of the island to Bon Nuite Bay, almost in the centre of the north coast. The walk itself is only about 6 miles but as it goes up and down the cliffs all the way along is quite strenuous and takes just over 3 hours. After 1 hour (and the easy part) you reach Bouley Bay which is an attractive bay, more importantly it has a nice cafe that stocks lots of cold drinks!! After leaving Bouley you climb again back onto the cliff walk and continue on for 4 more miles before finally descending into Bon Nuite Bay (another welcome cafe stop) from there busses take you back into St Hellier.

Finally getting back into St Hellier I just had enough time to take the last land train tour of the day round the parish of St Hellier. This takes in the whole of the town including the centre, the harbour and the beaches.

After that I caught a bus along the coast to St Aubins to take in the town. It is far prettier than St Hellier. Again it has a off shore defense, this time a fort (not open to the public) and picturesque beaches.
